The Art of Selling Online Courses Build Your Own Revenue Model Using Inputs From Your Audience by Christopher Sutton
Christopher is a lifelong music lover. Determined to become “musical,” he took lessons in cello, clarinet, piano, saxophone, and electric guitar, and sang in numerous choirs and ensemble groups.
In his 20s he discovered a technique called “ear training” which finally began to unlock some of the skills he’d always thought took talent, like playing by ear, improvising, jamming and writing music.
Inspired by his own progress, he started a company to help other musicians develop their musicality in fun, easy and effective ways. He now leads a 10 person team at Musical U, providing a membership program and courses for adult musicians worldwide.
In this episode of “The Art of Selling Online Courses: Winning Strategies & Secret Hacks From Top Performers”, Christopher tells a story of how his ear training app, which became popular overnight, turned into a successful course business. He also shares how switching a revenue model from single payments to memberships helped him double the annual revenue.
